Asking For Trouble

About

Kawaii stationery, accessories and gifts to make you smile!

Asking For Trouble is a range of cute character goods designed by Marceline Smith since 2007.

Trained as a printmaker and inspired by my visits to Japan, I create kawaii (cute) characters and patterns for stationery, fabric and gifts. My characters start as doodles in my sketchbook - almost anything can become adorably cute when a happy face is added, but I especially love drawing food, space and nature.

Using my characters and repeat patterns, I design a cute and colourful collection of handmade and printed products including cards, notepads, badge sets, bags, stamps, stickers and pins. I love to find cute ways to add a little fun and happiness to your day whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just going to the supermarket.

ABOUT MARCELINE

I've been running my own business for 15 years and love working on my cute creations in my home studio on the west coast of Scotland. I create all the designs, choose suitable UK & EU printers and add the perfect finishing touches.
